Bayern Munich warn Premier duo off Robert Lewandowski
“Robert Lewandowski has a contract with FC Bayern, which he recently extended to 2021, ‘ read an official statement”.
Chelsea and Manchester United have been linked with the super striker this summer, but Bayern have warned the clubs to stay away.
Bayern Munich’s Polish hitman Robert Lewandowski is one of the deadliest strikers in world football and it looks like he could be on his way to the Premier League. He feels Carlo/players didn’t support him enough (including race for best goal scorer).
But as revealed in Starsport last week, a £60m deal could prove more hard than first thought given Real’s anger at United’s refusal to sell them David De Gea.
The Sun says that consequently the Blues “will now consider battling Real Madrid for his signature” as Conte searches for the striker to replace Diego Costa.
Taking to Twitter, Balague said that Chelsea and United have spoken to Lewandowski’s representatives over a potential move, with the Stamford Bridge club front-runners to secure the 28-year-old.
These reports have originated just after Lewandowski’s agent publicly confirmed that his client was not happy at Bayern last season.
In a statement to Sky Germany, Bayern said: “Lewandowski does not want to leave Bayern”.
There were even rumours that Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho had met Robert Lewandowski at the recent Monaco Grand Prix.
The Bavarians are putting together a £350,000-a-week salary package for Sanchez that would make him the highest paid player in the history of the club.
“When other clubs negotiate with players, who have long term contracts, they risk punishment from Federation Internationale de Football Association!”
Lukaku is still very much on Chelsea’s radar, The Mirror reports, but Everton’s £100m asking price appears to be a big stumbling block.
And it seems there is a Premier League giant waiting to pounce on the opportunity, should Lewandowski become available in the summer.
